   Prepare rice as instructed on package. While cooking, place chopped grape leaves in a sieve and rinse under running water to remove excess salt. Squeeze out excess moisture and add to the simmering pot of rice (without stirring).

2. 2

   Toast pine nuts over low heat for 5 minutes, turning occasionally until they are golden and aromatic.

3. 3

   Stir the cooked pot of rice to combine with the grape leaves. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add all remaining ingredients except for pine nuts. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

4. 4

   Garnish with toasted pine nuts and serve warm, cold, or at room temperature.
